COLT 1812E: Imagining the Eastern Mediterranean in Literature and Film
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Explores cultures and eclectic identities of the Eastern Mediterranean and its cities (Athens, Alexandria, Beirut, Istanbul, Jerusalem) through the works of literature and film. We will focus on two central themes: first, the relationship between fiction and the history/memory of Eastern Mediterranean cities and peoples; second, the origins and sustenance of certain discourses that describe the Eastern Mediterranean with nostalgia for vanished cosmopolitanism. Writers and poets may include Abasiyanik, Adnan, Cavafy, Darwish, Durrell, Kanafani, al-Karrat, Melville, Matalon, Oz, Pamuk, Shammas, and Uzun; filmmakers may include Akin, Bitton, Boulmetis, Chahine, Egoyan, Jacir, Suleiman, and Zaim.

COLT 1812F: Violence and Representation
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Traces diverse genealogies from which to theorize violence and its relation to aesthetics. We will identify a disciplinary philology for “violence” as a signifier within visual culture, art practice and literature; historicize key transitions in varied invocations of violence in representation; study texts (photography, film, novel, installation) that create a space where violence can be discussed as both everyday and extraordinary. Some issues to be considered: representability in moments of historical crisis (war, colonialism, genocide); the efficacy of genres and artistic movements in representing violence (tragedy, surrealism, theater of cruelty); and the violence of representation (surveillance, spectatorship, voyeurism).

COLT 1812I: Collective Struggles and Cultural Politics in the Global South
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Traces the historical and ideological mapping of the North-South axis and the regional mythologies informed by racism, empire and nationalism. We will examine the ways in which imagined geographical hierarchies continue to shape cultural and political struggles and the vectors of globalization. Along with readings on imperial histories, liberal and neoliberal political economies, and postcolonialism this class seeks to establish connections between resistant narratives and collective struggles in the Global South. We will discuss political philosophies of Marx, Gramsci, Arendt, Fanon, Harvey and Schwarz, as well as the works of Achebe, Hurston, Kincaid, Rushdie, Roy, Sembene, and Wright. First year students require instructor permission.

COLT 1812J: Poetry and Ethics
1.00 Credits
Brown University
If history is, as Charles Olson claims, a "form of attention" and we are all participants in a collective reality relative to our capacity for language use, what ethical issues come to bear on what the poet chooses to attend to--not only as subject matter but as form? Can poetic language be sufficiently responsive to the challenge of empathy? Is there an ethics of attention? Guided by philosophical texts, we shall investigate ethical possibilities in a range of world poetries. WRIT
